#antisemitism

noam@libranet.de

Thank you to the protesting student on the #BBC a short while ago, who demonstrated perfectly how (legitimate) protest against the death and destruction in #Gaza so easily dovetails with antisemitic tropes. And why I would never join the protests.

When asked about Zionism and the existence of the state of Israel, she said Jews should have stayed and fought #antisemitism where they were, they can be welcome anywhere. A perfect example of privilege from a white European, she obviously did not have an understanding of history. And yes, shitting on my history is antisemitic.

Maybe she should watch Fiddler on the Roof as a start.

Also, good morning.

The discussion about #Israel and #Gaza on Diaspora seems to be dominated by white men who categorically know all the answers, and who are either declaring Israel good guys fighting evil #Hamas and #antisemitism around the world, or declaring #Palestine as innocent lambs who have done no wrong, fighting the ultimate evil of Israel. I see no productive discussion or nuance, so little point engaging.

US Universities Should Respect Right to Protest

End Crackdown on Peaceful Pro-Palestinian Protests

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/26/us-universities-should-respect-right-protest

There have been troubling reports of antisemitic incidents in and around Columbia University’s campus. Allegations of antisemitic acts and speech by individuals, as well as acts of Islamophobia and other forms of discrimination, should be investigated and addressed on the merits in a case-by-case basis, through fair and transparent processes.\
\
As protests spread to campuses across the country, university administrations should be careful not to mislabel criticism of Israeli government policies or advocacy for Palestinian rights as inherently antisemitic or to misuse university authority to quash peaceful protest. Instead, universities should safeguard people’s rights to assembly and free expression.

Jewish Voice For Peace: As the largest anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the world, we unequivocally reject the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and reaffirm in the strongest terms that there is no place for antisemitism in our movements. We condemn the false accusations of antisemitism leveled against principled, anti-war protesters to discredit our movements.

We call on all people of conscience to remain focused on the urgent work at hand: Ending U.S. weapons and funding to the genocide of Palestinians and reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people depend on it.

F*CK WAGNER

Werk und Künstler trennen? Darauf hat Chilly Gonzales absolut keinen Bock. Im subtil-kritischen „F*CK WAGNER“ rechnet der Sänger, Pianist und Entertainer mit dem deutschen Kulturgut Richard Wagner ab. Und zwar nicht wegen des streitbaren Spätwerks, sondern weil Wagner Antisemit war. Und das ganz unverhohlen. Zusammen mit dem Rundfunk-Tanzorchester gibt es hier die ganze Ansage in Full HD.

Arrangement: Lorenz Rhode
